Erotic Oddities - Fri. April 29th - 8PM

Oddball Films and curator Kat Shuchter present Erotic Oddities with the most bizarre and offbeat smut, burlesque and erotica of the collection. From insane pornographic cartoons to marionette strippers to bizarre stag films, this is one night of the strangest smut you'll ever see. In one of the earliest stag films, Getting his Goat (1923), a man is in for a surprise when he propositions sex through a hole in a gate. Eveready Hardon heads to the beach in the outrageous cartoon Buried Treasure (1928). Get ready for the disgusting pornographic animation featuring music by the Beach Boys and a vegetable gang bang (literally) with Sandy Sunrise in the Babysitter (1971). Play with your toys in a non-XXX excerpt of bizarro porno Orgy of the Dolls (1970s). Dracula is a groovy pimp in Vegas with a brothel full of vampire hookers in an insane excerpt of Ray Dennis Steckler's The Mad Love Life of a Hot Vampire (1971). Tour a museum of erotic art in an excerpt from the thinly veiled pornographic documentary Erotography (1970). It's a ridiculous homoerotic smorgasbord with clips from four 1970s beefcake shorts: naked men on pogo sticks in Wheee!, an alien encounter of the sexy kind in Three's a Crowd, gorilla/man love in Queen Kong and her Fay, and no description necessary for Naked Twister! A bisexual Amazon runs for her life and makes out with everyone in sight in Dionysus (1970s). We've also got a buffet of burlesque with Yvonne DeCarlo (Lily Munster) in Pearl of Bagdad (1930s), an exotic fire dancer in Fire Dance and our favorite marionette stripper in Doll Dance (1940s). Plus, even more sexy surprises in store!

These rare beefcake shorts rarely feature any action, just tons of naked men letting their junk hang out while they dress up, strip down and bounce around!

Wheee! (Color, 1970s)

A great homoerotic beefcake short. In this high-jumping oddity, a couple of everyday dudes are hanging out naked, throwing back some ice cold sodas before jumping on pogo sticks. Double Projected with: Jump: Anyone Can Do It (Color, 1979)

Naked Twister:

Two nude men play Twister in front of a red curtain, while a third man gives them the commands. The two men then grab the third guy, and strip him nude. Then all three of them play. Double Projected with board game commercials.

Three’s a Crowd:

Alien encounters of the naked kind! Two buff men are camping in the woods. They go hiking when they see an alien. They rocks at the alien who shoots them with a gun that freezes the men, then the alien takes off their clothes. The two men end up freezing the alien and sticking him in their tent and burning the the alien to death.

The Pearl of Bagdad (B+W, 1930s)

A musical number in which a handsome man serenades Yvonne DeCarlo ("Lily Munster"), in a middle eastern theme palace/harem. She lays on a couch whilst he sings and dancing girls sway in time to the music. Then Yvonne gets up and performs a semi provocative dance number to a quicker jazz beat.

Fire Dance(B+W, 1930s)

A provocatively dressed woman addresses the camera, telling us this is her interpretation of the exotic fire dance. She dances to a samba beat and makes a fine attempt at an ‘exotic fire dance’.

On the Beach aka Getting His Goat (B+W, 1923)“Idylwild Beach where the men are idle and the women are wild”From 1923 here’s one of the earliest stag films ever made starring Creighton Hale (from D.W. Griffith’s “Way Down East”). A man peeps through a knot hole on a group of girls and gets more than he bargained for.

Buried Treasure (B+W, 1928)The Granddaddy of pornographic cartoons, persistent rumors suggest that Max Fleischer (Betty Boop and others), Paul Terry (of TerryToons) and Budd Fisher (Mutt & Jeff) were responsible for this bawdy masterpiece. The legendary porno cartoon with a boogie woogie piano soundtrack depicting the unlikely adventures of the perpetually aroused title character (Eveready Hardon) with, among others, a man, a woman, and a cow. You’ll laugh and the guys may even scream!

Sandy Sunrise in The Baby Sitter (Color, 1971)

A disgusting (and hilarious) bit of home-made smut from the archives, this bizarro animated adult XXX animation explores the adventures of a babysitter and vegetables! Produced by Warped Imaginations (A Cum Stained Cartoon) featuring music from the classic Beach Boys Smiley Smile album!

The Orgy of the Dolls(Color, 1970s, excerpt)

A truly baffling piece of pornography (we will cut before it gets XXX) that brings new meaning to "playing with your toys." A woman goes into a doll shop after hours and brings to life a bunch of human-sized horny dolls.

The Mad Love Life of a Hot Vampire (Color, 1971, excerpt)

A bizarro piece of sexploitation from the infamous Ray Dennis Steckler (using a pseudonym, of course). Dracula has set up castle in none other than Las Vegas and he sends his lady-vamps out on the town as high-class working girls, and blood isn't all they're sucking!

Dionysus (Color, 1970s, excerpt)Amazon-looking woman runs through the forest, chased by two men with bows and arrows. While running for her life, she manages to find time to make out with a man and a lady.

Doll Dance (B+W, 1940s)

A 1940s Burlesque tit for tat dance number with Arlene and Rene. Both ladies are lovely, only Arlene has someone pulling her strings.

Erotography (Color, 1970, excerpt)

A white coater "documentary" about the history of erotic art from the Kama Sutra to Roman pottery. This kind of film was a thinly disguised way to distribute pornography as a documentary film.
